How to Send LearnDash Enrollments to Google Analytics 4
Google Analytics 4 is a analytics platform. Here is how to pipe LearnDash data straight into Google Analytics 4 using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.
Skip the automation middleman
Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to analytics. No task meter, no monthly bill.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with LearnDash installed and at least one course.
- A Google Analytics 4 account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Google Analytics 4 to AFI
- Get your GA4 Measurement ID and API Secret from your GA4 property.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → GA4.
- Enter the Measurement ID and API Secret.
- Click Save.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it LearnDash to Google Analytics 4.
2. Pick your trigger
Select LearnDash as the form provider. AFI fires when a student enrolls in a course or completes a lesson, giving you access to student details, course information, and enrollment data.
3. Select Google Analytics 4 as the destination
Choose Google Analytics 4 from the platform dropdown and pick Send Event. This sends an event to Google Analytics 4.
4. Map fields
Match each Google Analytics 4 field on the left to the corresponding LearnDash field on the right. Common mappings include student name, email, course title, and enrollment date. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain enrollments? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Complete a test enrollment in LearnDash. Check Google Analytics 4 to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps event name and parameters to Google Analytics 4 with unlimited enrollments. Pro adds custom parameter mapping. No per-enrollment fees on any plan.
